Vigneswaran takes over NPC temporarily
14 June 2017 08:21 pm - 9 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Vigneswaran today temporarily took over all four ministerial portfolios of the council under his purview after informing two of the ministers to resign and the other two to go on a month's-leave, due to charges of corruption.
When the committee report which was made over the corruption charges levelled against all four of the council ministers was taken up for debate today, the Chief Minister informed the Education Minister T. Gurukularajah and Agriculture Minister O. Ainkaraneshan to resign.
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister informed Transport and Trade Minister B. Deniswaran and Health Minister P. Sathyalingam to go on a month's leave as there were investigations of corruption pending against them.
Mr. Vigneswaran afterwards informed Council Chairman C.V.K. Sivagnanam that he will take over the portfolios of all ministers under his purview for the time being.
The council ministers who were accused said that although they were not guilty of the charges levelled against them, they would accept the decision taken by the Chief Minister.
Meanwhile, Opposition Council Member V. Jayathilake said they were not given the opportunity to express their opinions during the debate and therefore, all opposition members walked out of the council.
However, he said discussions with regard to the vacancies of the four ministries would be held on June 22, during the council session. (Romesh Madhusanka)

Why do you all make irrational comments.Procedures are followed according to provisions availableComments are made out of context. Have you lived in the North to comment that on no work had been done?.It all goes to prove that we can't think 'out of box'. It's sad

Good example; unlike in rest of the country even if proven guilty they stay in power. Well done Hon Chief Minister! I know people with petty racial agenda will throw mud at you using this as an opportunity.
